when in rome

or germany....

i think i shall start this off with a series of photographs of the places i have slept in the past 10 or so days

some places may look familiar to certain people who may or may not have recieved sms messages in the middle of my night. my neck and shoulder find them achingly familiar.


notice the cow with the ray of light beaming down on it? this cow was not at all pleased with our presence, particularly in the morning. it was as if she went to sleep, thinking she'd imagined us, and then woke up to find that it was not, in fact, a bad dream, and that we were still very much in the next paddock from her. she bellowed her dislike for us, and we left soon after.

the night before i left for france i asked someone if it would have been different, had i enjoyed camping or at least pretended to. i knew the answer was no when i asked, and now im even more certain that the answer would still be no, and also that im not that good at pretending



andys hoeve was in the in france...or germany....or the netherlands.....maybe belgium? could have been ireland for all we knew. what i did know for sure was that andy had about 15 roosters and all of them liked to call out, one after the other, from about 3am onwards. there were a couple of good ones, and then one that went something like 'cock a doodlrelelerr...rrr...b' you know, that sort of sound. there was also one that stopped halfway through every time.
it was on this night that i dreamed i was looking for a vase frog for my mum, and that i found a really nice blue one, but then ghalyas brother told me i couldnt walk somewhere and then i found out that our play was the highest ticket seller on that night, and then it was my cue and id forgotten all my speaking lines, only remembering the songs i had to sing.

i didnt sleep well








now, ill try and blog something in some sort of order

actually, no i wont because even though i slept for 12 hours last night, ive just been over come by a wave of extreme tiredness. instead, i will leave you with this and go have a lay down

OR apparently i wont because ive tried three times to upload a photo of two poodles and a poster of a rooster with emo coming out of its bum

you'll just have to imagine it

ps, camera=all fixed
